JWM Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Hi, Third post of secodnliner for this evening - Cessna Bobcat. This was an advanced trainer (as AT-17) or light universal transport or liason (as UC-78) machine of US Army or - similar purposes in US Navy (as JRC-1). I know this machine from my early years - one of this type is preserved in Museum of Aviation in Krakow. In Polish markings from early 1950s. However - I made her in markings of French airforces 1944-45, just because I found this pattern visually interesting. Kit was by Pavla, 1/72. The decals are from drawer, following profile: http://richard.ferriere.free.fr/bobcat/bobcat.htm Please feel free to comment Cheers Jerzy-Wojtek Edited July 23, 2017 by JWM Switch to Flickr 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Nice work. Missed buying one of these recently on Hannants 2nd Hand listing. It was going for £19.80 or something like that! Would love one for my WW2 RCAF trainers collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Thank you Paul for comment. I am not sure, but since AZ/Legato is issuing mosty of Pavla kits deeply improved - perhaps it is better to wait for their re-issue?

Right J-W, can you grant me a Christmas wish, speak to my wife and ask if I can have the spare room for kits, I would ask her myself but I can't run fast enough to get away if it turns out badly !

TheyJammedKenny! Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Nicely done! I was totally unfamiliar with the type when I saw it in Krakow years back--I must've thought it was a postwar East Bloc design! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in 2006 visiting the Smithsonian near Washington.... Also nice aviation museum! The KP in resent issue gave the Polish scheme, that one from museum, I think. It is colorful but not from my time frames for modelling... On 12/15/2020 at 8:30 PM, bigbadbadge said: Lovely model Jerzy, looks wonderful. Great work, sorry I missed this the first time round.
